HOOD-PINS

HOOD PIN INSTALL

7-7-07     We've been meaning to install hood pins for a long time now,
but just never seemed to get around to it.   When driving at highway
speeds the hood is OK but at track speed it flutters, quite a bit. The stock
latch works just fine but better to be safe than sorry.

First we looked for pre-drilled holes for the pins.

We took the radiator cover off to make it easier.

We took the ID tag off to use the hole under it
and did a test fit.

Next we drilled a small pilot hole first and then
went to size.

We then fitted the pin but it was to long.

We trimmed about an inch or so.

This looks about right and fits snug.

We used existing screws so we didn't have to
drill new ones.

We relocated the plate with 2 rivets.

All finished and cleaned up. We might
move the straps to a different location
if this doesn't work out for us.
